Wani’s glorification is self-incrimination by Sharif: India

Lambasting Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s “glorification” of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani in his speech at the UN General Assembly, India said hailing a “self-advertised” terrorist at the forum is “self- incrimination” <g data-gr-id="25">by</g> the Pakistani leader.

MoS for External Affairs MJ Akbar said it is “shocking” that a leader of a nation can “glorify a self- declared self-advertised terrorist” at a forum such as the UN General Assembly.

“We heard the glorification of a terrorist. Burhan Wani was a self-declared commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen, this organisation is widely acknowledged internationally as a terrorist group,” Akbar said.

“This is self-incrimination by the Pakistan PM. We just heard a speech full of threat, bluster and what can only be described as rising immaturity and complete disregard of facts,” Akbar said.
